But now, he's found himself alone yet again. Alone, and stranded on Mars.

At least, that's what one compassionate cinema goer gathered from the film. Said cinema goer was so affected by Matt's plight and so concerned about his wellbeing that he decided to do the right thing: to take action and set up a Gofundme account called 'Rescue Matt Damon from Mars'.

The account's plea tugs at the heartstrings: 'One of the greatest actors in Hollywood is currently trapped on Mars after a failed exploration. We need Matt back on earth because he is due to be in another 'Bourne' movie.'

The campaign has also found its way on to Twitter, with #bringhomeMatt starting to take off - no doubt to the delight of the film's PR team. It follows yesterday's trending confusion surrounding the film's authenticity, with an alarming number of people believing it to be a true story.

Worryingly, two members of the public have actually donated to the cause, whose fundraising target stands at $99 million. Actually, the estimated cost of sending someone to Mars is upwards of $6 billion - but thanks to those two donations, the cause is well on its way to hit and exceed its target: today, it hit a grand total of $10.

Ben Affleck needs him home, the United States needs him home, and more importantly..... I need him home #BringHomeMatt
